About
Peter Trillenberg is a leading researcher in the optimization and precision of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. His key contributions lie in understanding how coil orientation and stimulation depth affect motor thresholds and stimulus intensity. In his most cited work, "Optimal Coil Orientation for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation" (106 citations), Trillenberg systematically investigated how coil angle impacts motor threshold, particularly for foot stimulation, providing critical data that bridges electrodynamic models with clinical practice. He also advanced the field by comparing hand-held versus robotic TMS systems, demonstrating how robotized, motion-compensated setups can enhance reproducibility and accuracy—work that has been cited over 40 times collectively. His studies on stimulus intensity variation with depth (19 citations) further refined safety and efficacy protocols. Trillenberg’s research is notable for its methodological rigor, combining 3D laser scanning for navigated TMS and precise control of coil orientation, which has practical implications for both clinical diagnostics and therapeutic applications. His work has been instrumental in moving TMS from coarse, standard orientations toward personalized, robot-assisted precision.
